If you haven’t yet read The Impact Equation, today is your chance to learn more about it and add it to your list.

If you have read it, today is the no holds barred opportunity to ask Chris anything and everything you ever wanted to know, but never had the chance.

Today’s Livefyre Q&A

At noon ET (that’s 11:00 CT, 10:00 MT, and 9:00 PT for those of you who can’t do time zones), Chris is going to be hanging out in the comments so you can ask him anything and everything about the book, his international travels, business, life, writing, or even how he manages to remember things about people most don’t even register (I once saw him have a conversation with a guy who had told him two years before he was a comic book fan…and Chris remembered it before the guy brought it up).

In order to participate, all you have to do is:

Make sure you have a Livefyre account or be ready to sign in with one of your social networks.

Come back here, scroll to the bottom, and write a comment in the form of a question. As soon as you hit “post comment,” Chris will see it and reply to you. You can even join the conversation around questions others are asking, if you like.

We’ll be here for an hour so you can join us the entire time or step in and out during the hour. It’s entirely up to you; just make sure you’re here before 12:59.

Win a Copy

Those of you who participate in today’s Livefyre Q&A (even if you’re late to the party, but not if you’re an Arment Dietrich employee) will be entered in a random drawing for a free copy of the book.

We bought two copies and will give them both away, but you have to participate to be entered in the drawing. Otherwise we won’t know you were here.

Get ready with your questions and join the conversation. And don’t fear! If you missed the live portion of this, we’ll keep the drawing open until midnight PT so you still have time to get in your questions.

@chrisbrogan Sorry for being in and out -- I had to run to lunch and then a meeting. Thanks for the advice, Chris. Writing to serve or to help in some way really hits home. And thanks @ginidietrich for making this happen! #YouRock

You could write an ebook of just Chris's quotes that would be valuable insight to anyone wanting to know about social media and how it can help your business... Chris was in rare (funny) form today... I didn't know he was such a fan of Linkedin :o

It seems that there's been an overall sense of disillusionment on the social web, especially when it comes to the bait and switch of prominent bloggers. There's this point when the content *shifts* once audience hits an certain saturation level.

@BobFarnham It remains here! For all eternity. And, when we do next month's Q&A, I'll link to it in that blog post. Or you can just search "livefyre Q&A" or "chris brogan" in the search bar up there ^^^^ and you can find it.

@jasonkonopinski - getting tied up in the soap operas of bloggers is like caring about the personal lives of professional wrestlers (which, oddly I care about Diamond Dallas Page, but that's different). Who cares? If you don't like them, leave. If you want to learn from them and they're not teaching you what you need, leave. They're not the problem. You are. Always. (You being everyone).

@KatherineBull - my kids LIVE on YouTube. If I ask a question, they go to YouTube not google. Note that I didn't say "an amazing Pearson" learning platform. If I were helping a company right now, I'd tell them to look at and master what Vevo just pulled off. One of the best stories of 2013 that no one's writing about.

@ginidietrich I would've liked to have known that when I locked myself out of my house when I was six months pregnant and had to stand on the garbage can to crawl thru the window. (I was so broke then I couldn't afford a locksmith. True story)

@ginidietrich Do they go there because it is free or because they really get good information? I went to YouTube to find out how to teach Miss M how to tie her shoes. I'm a right-y, she's a lefty. I found some videos but they didn't really help me help her. (She still wears velcro tennis shoes!)

@KatherineBull@chrisbrogan When I speak to business owners, I always ask where they go for their information. YouTube is always first and then Google. It used to surprise me how many people said YouTube. Now I realize it's just because human beings are visual learners.
